R.Falcao: "Win this trophy"

Ahead of the first competitive game of the season, Leonardo Jardim and his captain Radamel Falcao spoke to the press from deep inside the Grand Stade de Tanger.

Radamel Falcao

"Paris and Monaco are two big teams. They are both aiming to win this trophy. We're here to give 100% in this game. Every player is ready to compete for the trophy. Everyone is in the right mindset to play well and try and win it.

Some important players have left, but other high quality players have come in. We have worked hard to be ready and to try and do even better this season."

Leonardo Jardim

"We'll be facing a side who have only lost one trophy in these last five years...to us. We'll be going out with the sole aim of winning.

Some important players from last season have left. Everyone knows our project. We bring on young players. On paper, we are weaker but there is enormous quality among the young players who have arrived. The squad isn't yet complete. The aim is to have a competitive squad to do Monaco proud, as in the last three years. Our ambitions are still the same. We are working to win trophies. We work with young players, we're not a club that buys older players. We're working on the present and the future.

Kylian has worked hard to get back to his level from last year. He has that ambition. He'll be working hard in attack and defence."
